    Default Crazy Brake Lights

    I took my VN to an auto electrician 2 weeks ago because I was having issues with my lights e.g. When I turned on my headlights, all rear lights including the middle one above the boot would come on and it's only meant to be like that if I have my foot on the brake w/ the headlights on. He said something about an incorrect globe shorting out the rest or something. He fixed the problem by putting a couple of new globes in but I am starting to have similar problems again wtf. Advice would be greatly appreciated ASAP.

    Its a common problem, i fixed mine by redoing all the earth connections in the globe holders.

    You cut the holder to get to where the wire is joined to the connecter, there only pressed together. Sand it back and solder it on this time and it should be good.

    Not sure if I can do that myself, would it be easier just to buy new looms($15 each from my local wreckers)?
